Bill Gates, the co-founder and chairman of
Microsoft Corp., is planning to write another book on how new technology
will affect people and companies.
Gates, whose last book, "Business @ at the Speed of Thought," was
published in 1996, is still in the early stages of planning and no date
has been set yet for the book's release, Microsoft spokesman John Pinette
said.
"Bill has begun thinking about a new book that will talk about new
technology and how innovation is going to transform the way we
communicate, entertainment and also how innovation is going to have a
profound effect at large institutions," Pinette said.
Gates also wrote "The Road Ahead" in 1995 with two other authors.
Many of the topics that Gates is expected to cover in his book includes
themes around improving the way individuals and corporations collect and
manage the increasing volume of data made available through technology.
Such topics are also on the agenda at Microsoft's annual CEO Summit,
where the software giant invites chief executives from various
corporations around the world to its Redmond, Washington campus for two
days of networking and presentations led by Gates.
The world's largest software maker also announced that it would launch
the next version of its Office spreadsheet, e-mail and word
processing programs during the second half of 2006, the same time frame it
is planning for the next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn.

微軟公司的創(chuàng)始人兼總裁比爾·蓋茨計(jì)劃撰寫一本新書，這本新書將闡述未來(lái)科技對(duì)大眾和企業(yè)的影響。
蓋茨的上一本書《未來(lái)時(shí)速》出版于1996年。微軟公司發(fā)言人約翰·培迪特表示：新書目前仍處于計(jì)劃的初級(jí)階段，其出版時(shí)間尚未確定。
培迪特說(shuō)：“比爾已經(jīng)開始考慮新書的內(nèi)容，這本新書在介紹新技術(shù)的同時(shí)將闡述創(chuàng)新給人們的交流和娛樂(lè)方式帶來(lái)的改變，以及創(chuàng)新對(duì)整個(gè)社會(huì)產(chǎn)生的深遠(yuǎn)的影響。”
1995年，蓋茨與另兩名作者一起合寫了《未來(lái)之路》。
蓋茨新書涉及的很多主題都將圍繞如何通過(guò)技術(shù)革新來(lái)改善個(gè)人和公司收集、管理日益增長(zhǎng)的大量數(shù)據(jù)的方法。
此類話題同樣出現(xiàn)在微軟公司年度CEO峰會(huì)的議程上。軟件巨頭微軟公司把世界各地的首席執(zhí)行官們請(qǐng)到位于美國(guó)雷特蒙德（微軟總部所在地）的華盛頓大學(xué)，參加由蓋茨主持的、為期兩天的網(wǎng)絡(luò)會(huì)議和演講活動(dòng)。
微軟公司同時(shí)宣布，將于2006年下半年發(fā)行Office電子制表軟件、電子郵件以及文字處理程序的最新版本。同期，還將發(fā)行Windows操作系統(tǒng)的新版本，代碼名為L(zhǎng)onghorn。
